Summary

Princeville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 308 students in grades PK-5 in Princeville, Illinois. The school is part of the Princeville CUSD 326 district, which is ranked 198 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being in a relatively high-performing district, Princeville Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 43.8%, compared to the state average of 53.1% and the district average of 58.9%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 46.5%, compared to the state average of 38.5% and the district average of 58.2%. Additionally, Princeville Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Princeville Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Charter Oak Primary School in the Peoria School District 150, it becomes evident that Princeville is underperforming. Charter Oak Primary has outperformed Princeville Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, despite being in a lower-ranked district. This suggests that Princeville Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its declining performance and equity concerns among different student subgroups.
